You may not think that mundane experiences are fit subjects for humor, but there's every chance that you'll change your mind after reading Bob Coulson's collection of often witty and always entertaining essays and vignettes that comprise Are You Ready For This? Over the past several years, the author has written a newspaper column which was published by several Eastern Colorado Newspapers, entitled "Take Five With Bob Coulson", in which he would expound-sometimes hilariously-on any number of everyday subjects. The author playfully pokes fun at the human condition while simultaneously recalling some of the more humorous and at times poignant events from his childhood during the Depression years, and compares that simpler era to the technologically advanced society of today. His observations are always on the money, and you'll see a lot of yourself in them. Mr. Coulson touches base with an endless myriad of everyday subjects, which makes Are You Ready For This? a perfect gift for anyone who appreciates a wholesome chuckle that's always in the best of taste. Readers can savor Mr. Coulson's revealing thoughts on human nature, his forthright style, and his always fresh insights into this crazy world we live in.
This is what Mr. Coulson offers any reader. Perspective on life, the myriad details which really matter in a life well-lived. With all the emphasis on real-time connections today, it's nice to have a person share wisdom instead of news. News is out of date tomorrow, but you could place this volume on the shelf and appreciate it every day for the next 50 years. A great gift for both young & old!
